Arithmetic and Algebra Problems from Albertson's handwritten book
Transcribed by James Quinn from the original document. Note: per Howard Jenkins History of Gwynedd this is not a public school, but a private one subscribed to by the parents. It does not appear to be a Quaker school, but appears to be one open to all willing to pay for tuition.
